Creating Application Links in External Applications

When integrating Oracle Utilities applications with other external applications, you can create links from external applications to specific portals and pages within the Oracle Utilities applications (also known as "deep linking"). These links typically leverage Business Process Assistant (BPA) scripts that direct the user to the appropriate target portal or page for a specific entity such as an account or service point. Refer to Creating Application Links in External Applications in the Application Framework Administrative User Guide for more information about creating links.

Note: When creating application links, the use of the following parameters will help speed up launching the target page

  • initNav=false: skips launching the default home page for the user

  • minDashboard=true  minimizes the dashboard for the user

GoTo Portal Script

The Framework provides a generic script (F1-GoToPrtl) that can be used to navigate to the maintenance portal for a specified maintenance object and entity. Refer to Creating Application Links in External Applications in the Application Framework Administrative User Guide for more information about using this script.
